Wednesday - BOTT Cardio and Café (Hump Day!)

Happy Hump Day, all!

My morning was all in a whirl and screwed up. My husband woke up feeling rotton, coughing up a lung and with a fever of 102. So away to the urgent care we went... 2 hours later, he tests negative for flu, his sinus x-ray is clear, but his fever has spiked to 102.6. They said they thought the test was a false positive and he had some kind of flu, and gave him tussin with codine and sent him on his merry way. I left him home with about 6 gallons of home made turkey soup, ginger ale, a thermometer, and a phone. I have to call every 3 hours to make him wake up and take tylenol/motrin. Blug. I do NOT want what he has. 

Cardio - Walk the doggie tonight

Food -

Brunch-ish - Subway chix parm flat bread
S - Apple slices, almonds
D - Depends on what he wants, if he's feeling better

Sion - Sure hope you don't catch his wretched "bug" (whatever name they give it)!!!!!!!!

We're having rain and wind here - not quite as bad as they predicted thank goodness.

Cravings lurking in the back of my head - have no clue what's setting them off - most likely because I thought the weather was going to be so bad I could justify taking the day off, but the weather isn't nearly that bad.  Hmmm sounds like a good old-fashioned pitty party.  I refuse to serve refreshments!!!!!

So far have managed to tone down the call of the cravings to a whisper rather than a shout.  I commit to walking and stairs and 1450-1500 calories today - regardless of what my head/emotions are saying.

Happy BOTTing everyone

Happy

I love that - refreshments at a pity party - that will certainly make me think twice before eating when I'm having a pity party.

Thanks

Wow, hope all of you feel better soon ! 

It sounds like my BOTT Family is trying to get sick.  I would rather have the sniffles than get the kick in my gut that I received yesterday.  We were called in to work early yesterday for a meeting only to be told that our work is being "OUTSOURCED."  And where is it going??  To the #$@& Philipphines...where else! 

I posted my menu yesterday, but trust me I didn't and couldn't eat everything that I wrote down.  The stress level wouldn't let me, and here I was wondering if we were going to get a bonus for Christmas.  WOW!  What a lovely gift!

Sorry to hear about your job.  I have gone through this several times, it isn't easy.  The one thing I always noticed is because of they way the companies fiscal years go they always drop the ball on you just before the holidays, puts a damper on many things.  Good luck with whatever your future brings and keep on BOTTing, that is the one area that we personally control !

Oh Dreamgirl - what a low-down, slimy trick, to pull on all of you - especially at Christmas  - but then I guess I'd think it was a low-down, slimy trick whenever they did it LOL

I don't know where you will be working next, but I DO KNOW this - they will be mighty mighty lucky to have you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep us posted and let us know if there is ANY way we can be of help to you.  Know that you are loved and treasured here (and you don't even have to go to the Phillipines!!!!!)
